Sleek Caribbean Curacao Love #4 Oh So Green

Hello My Funky Readers,

Today I have a pretty simple look using the one and only Sleek Caribbean Curacao palette. I simply love this palette, and that's all to it! :) After I got tired playing with mattes, I decided to take a break and use the shimmering shades from the palette, Green Martini and Green Iguana. They are still not for the fainthearted because they are bright, but when did that ever stop me? :P

Oh the shimmering greatness, how I missed you! My brows look funky because I was practicing the flapper look yet again. It seems like I never give up, because the next 2 or 3 look will also be flapper inspired just to warn you.

Martini on the lid, Iguana right above it.

What do you think?

Sleek Caribbean Curacao Love #3 Wishing for Sunshine

Hello My Funky Readers,

I'm hitting my "low" point in blogging again, plus today had been such a dreary day with all the rain and no sunshine, that I've decided to post this look ahead of schedule. I actually have around 3-4 looks that came before it, but I'm sure you all will forgive me.

I call this look Wishing for Sunshine and it was inspired by one of my t-shirts. I actually got this t-shirt because I felt it was very ironic and appropriate for England. :) I've used Sleek's Caribbean Curacao palette again, this time only three shades: bright blue, bright yellow and white.

So I wasn't able to take a better picture of my t-shirt, this is the best one. Under the umbrella there is a paint brush as is someone painted some sunshine. :)

I should have made yellow "sun" a little smaller, but oh well as I usually say. I had fun with this look and that's what matters the most to me.

I was told my eyeshadow was  "groovy" too LOL.

What do you think?

BOOK REVIEW Wednesday: Talk of the Town by Lisa Wingate

Hello Everyone,

Have any of you read any romance/fantasy books lately that you would want to recommend to me? I'm always on lookout for new books to read.

Talk of the Town ended up being completely different from what I expected. I expected a romance novel, but I got a story of friendship with romance thrown in for good measure.

Product Description

The show American Megastar is the hottest thing on television but its associate producer, Mandalay Florentino, is worried. She's just arrived in the tiny town of Daily, Texas, to arrange a surprise "reunion concert" for hometown finalist Amber Amberson. Only it turns out everyone in town seems to know the secret. And paparazzi are arriving. Word from Hollywood is that Amber has disappeared with a "bad boy" actor. Can anything go right in this tumbleweed town?

Imagene Doll loves her town of Daily, Texas, but things are lonely without her beloved husband. Life seems dull. At least until that fancy-dressed woman pulls into town, looking terrified and glamorous all at once. Soon life's not the least bit boring as Imagene and the rest of Daily find themselves at the center of a media maelstrom--with a young girl's future on the line.

~*~*~*~
The story takes place in a small town of Daily, Texas, completely run down and very sad. But the town gets its second chance, when one of their own gets into top 5 in American Idol type of program.

The story is told from the point of view of two women. One is Mandalay, the producer of the show who is tasked with top secret mission of coming to Daily and secretly organizing and filming the Homecoming segment of the show. Another is Imagene, a 70 year old lady who lost her husband a year ago and as a result is neglecting herself and giving up on life. Although Mandalay is trying to keep her reason for being in town secret, the news travel fast and everyone 'secretly' knows.

I loved it. In fact, I was more excited to read Imagene's point of view than Mandalay's because Imagene was just so real, I even cried several times at some parts. Loosing her husband was very traumatic for her, after spending many many years with him, she just doesn't know how to live alone anymore. But throughout the book, she is able to move on and helping Mandalay gives her a purpose in life again.

If you're looking for a genuinely feel good book, the one that will leave you smiling at the end, this is the book for you.

Sleek Caribbean Curacao Love #2

Hello Everyone,

Here is another look with  Sleek Caribbean Curacao palette, and yet again I can't stay away with Bloody Mary shade! It's such a gorgeous red :) Again, please be kind. I promise, I'm working on that blending!!

I used Blue Lagoon, Bloody Mary, and Screwdriver. All the orange, green and purple that you see is a result of me mixing nearby shades. How cool is that? :)

I love bright eyeshadow, and my husband called me a walking edible starburst LOL. 

What do you think? :)
